Research direction

Start by reading Motion 2026-03 LWG 1 and the referenced LWG4474 discussion, then inspect the wording change in pull request #8926. Determine whether the round.style specification handles multiple equally near values with even least significant digits; the work is done when the rule is unambiguous and the needed wording change is identified.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

From the application of Motion 2026-03 LWG 1, issue LWG4474:

If there can be more than 1 "equally near" values with "even least significant digit"s, then we can't chose "the one with an even least significant digit".
